The thing you measure — an agent, a user, a task. Everything in HuMetric hangs off an entity and the ID you give it.
Signal
A piece of evidence about an entity: free text or structured data. You send signals; HuMetric reads them.
Metric
A calibrated 0–1 score HuMetric extracts from signals. Each carries a confidence and fades as it ages.
Pack
Your scoring rules. A pack declares which metrics to extract for an entity type — define it once, reuse it forever.
Confidence
How sure HuMetric is about a value. It is recorded once and never rewritten — but its weight decays as the evidence ages, so a stale score quietly stops counting.
Consent
A pack can mark a metric sensitive. Those values stay hidden until the entity has granted the matching consent scope, and disappear again the moment it is revoked.
Quickstart
Zero to metrics in four calls
The order matters. A signal is rejected until its entity exists, and metrics stay empty until a pack tells HuMetric what to look for.
1
Define a packPOST /v1/packs
Tell HuMetric what to measure for an entity type — e.g. agents get code_quality and helpfulness.
2
Create an entityPOST /v1/entities
Register the thing you’ll track. Signals are rejected until the entity exists.
3
Send signalsPOST /v1/signals
Feed evidence as it happens. HuMetric extracts metrics and updates them in the background.
4
Read or rankGET /v1/entities/{id}/metrics
Pull one entity’s live metrics, or query in plain language across all of them.
Base URL
Every endpoint below is relative to this host. Send requests over HTTPS only.
https://api.gethumetric.com
Authentication
Keys and scopes
All API requests require a valid HuMetric API key. Include the key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Create your API key from the dashboard after registration.
Keys come in two prefixes. hm_live_ keys act on your real data; hm_test_ keys are for wiring things up. The full key is shown once, at creation — HuMetric only stores a hash, so a lost key must be replaced, not recovered.
Keys can carry an expiry (up to 730 days). Rotating is create-then-delete: mint the new key, move your traffic, then revoke the old one. A key cannot delete itself.
Scopes
A key carries a list of scopes and can do nothing outside them. Calling an endpoint without its scope returns 403 insufficient_scopes — the request never reaches your data.
Scope
Grants
entities:read
Read entities, their metrics, explanations, and history.
entities:write
Create and update entities, and override a metric under review.
signals:read
Read signal status, traces, and an entity’s signal list.
signals:write
Submit new signals for processing.
query
Run semantic queries and rankings across entities.
packs:read
List and read metric packs.
packs:admin
Create, update, and generate packs. Implies read.
tenant:admin
Read account usage and manage tenant-level settings. Required by /v1/usage and /v1/usage/calls.
A key can only ever create keys weaker than or equal to itself, so a narrow integration key cannot quietly widen its own reach.
MCP
Connect Claude directly — no code required
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets Claude Desktop or Claude Code talk to your HuMetric account directly. Once it’s connected, just ask in plain language — Claude queries entities, reads scores, and can log new signals for you, right from the chat.
1
Download the server
One self-contained Python file — nothing else to build.
2
Install three packages
mcp, httpx, and python-dotenv. That’s the whole dependency list.
3
Add it to your client
Point Claude Desktop or Claude Code at the file, with your API key. Pick a tab below.
Every tool is a thin wrapper over the REST endpoint of the same name, with the same scopes and the same limits. The names below are the identifiers your client will see.
Signals
humetric_ingest_signal, humetric_get_signal, humetric_get_signal_trace, humetric_list_entity_signals — submit a signal, poll it to completed, then read the extraction trace.
“Log this call transcript against agent-42 and tell me once it’s scored.”
Entities and their metrics
humetric_upsert_entity, humetric_get_entity, humetric_list_entities, humetric_get_entity_metrics — create or update an entity and read its current metric values with confidence.
“Create an entity for our new support agent and give me its current metrics.”
Query and rank
humetric_query_entities — rank entities by any metric in the pack: "which suppliers have rising churn risk?"
“Which of my suppliers have rising churn risk this quarter?”
Explain and trend
humetric_explain_metric, humetric_metric_history — which signals produced this value, and how it moved over time.
“Why is this agent’s tone score so low — which signal pulled it down?”
Metric Packs
humetric_list_packs, humetric_get_pack, humetric_create_pack, humetric_update_pack — discover which metrics exist before asking for one. A metric absent from the pack is never produced.
“What metrics does the "agent" pack track, and which ones are sensitive?”
Human review
humetric_list_pending_review, humetric_review_metric — the low-confidence queue, and overriding a value by hand.
“List the metrics waiting on human review.”
Consent (GDPR/KVKK)
humetric_get_consent, humetric_grant_consent, humetric_revoke_consent — sensitive metrics are only processed where explicit consent exists. Check before ingesting; consent is the data subject’s declaration, never the model’s assumption.
“Does entity agent-42 have consent on file before I send it a sensitive signal?”
Account and usage
humetric_dashboard, humetric_usage_report, humetric_pack_usage, humetric_call_history, humetric_audit_logs, humetric_health — tier and quota, spend by day and by pack, and the audit trail.
“How many signals did we process this month, and which pack cost the most?”
Try it
Once connected, just ask — Claude picks the right tool on its own.
“Which of my suppliers have rising churn risk this quarter?”
Agentic MCP
Run Pack Wizard, Signal Agent, and Reports from your own tools
A second, separate MCP server — remote (no install), used with your own BYOK provider key. It opens the same Pack Wizard and Signal Agent this dashboard uses — design a Metric Pack from a description or a DB schema, or turn pasted text into a signal-ingestion plan and run it — plus a report/wiki tool that turns entity or pack data into a sanitized HTML report and can save it to a private tenant wiki. All from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client, without opening a browser tab.
1
Add a BYOK provider key
Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, or Google — set in the dashboard. These agents run on your key, not ours; an optional Gentic key adds persistent research memory across sessions.
2
Mint an MCP key
From the dashboard’s MCP panel. Shown once — the token authenticates this server, separate from your engine API key.
3
Add it to your client
One URL, one Bearer header — no local process to run. Pick a tab below.

Content-Type: application/json
The 15 tools you get once connected
Design a Metric Pack
humetric_pack_wizard_start, _status, _answer, _cancel — describe what you want to measure; the agent researches, asks a clarifying question when it matters, and returns a ready-to-publish pack_yaml.
“Design a Metric Pack that scores dealer visit notes for churn risk.”
Turn text into signals, then run them
humetric_signal_chat_start, _status, _answer, _run_plan, _cancel — paste raw text against an existing pack; the agent drafts an ingestion plan, and _run_plan actually executes it and returns real metric values.
“Turn this pasted review into a signal against my "agent" pack, then run the plan.”
Check your credit
humetric_mcp_credit_balance — the tenant’s remaining MCP platform credit, in cents. Free to call.
“How much MCP credit do I have left?”
Generate a report, save it to your wiki
humetric_report_generate, humetric_report_list_templates, plus humetric_doc_list/_get/_delete — turn entity or pack data into a sanitized HTML report using a built-in template or your own BYOK-designed one, then optionally save it to a private tenant wiki backed by Cloudflare R2. Postgres only ever stores the metadata; the content lives in R2. A saved report comes back with a url that opens it in the panel at /reports; humetric_doc_share turns that report into a link anyone can open without signing in, and closing it again keeps the same address for later.
“Generate a metric-trend report for entity agent-42 and save it to my wiki.”
Report templates
The `template` parameter of humetric_report_generate. The first three are built in and free of an LLM call; "custom" uses your own BYOK key once to lay out the HTML you described, still grounded in the fetched data.
Template
What it renders
Requires
entity_summary
Entity summary — every current metric for one entity, in a table.
entity_id
metric_trend
Metric trend — how one metric on one entity moved over time.
entity_id, metric_key
pack_overview
Pack overview — a summary table across every entity of one type (capped at 300 rows).
pack_key
custom
Custom — your own design_prompt, rendered with your BYOK key.
design_prompt
How a session runs
Both agents are asynchronous, and neither blocks. A _start call returns a session_id immediately with status running; poll _status until it reads awaiting_input or completed. On awaiting_input read the pending question and reply with _answer, which resumes the run. For the Signal Agent, completed means a plan exists — nothing has been ingested until you call _run_plan. Sessions can be abandoned safely with _cancel.
Pricing
A flat, per-action platform fee — separate from your BYOK provider’s own bill, which is charged directly to you by them, not by HuMetric. The charge is taken from your MCP credit balance before the work starts, so a call that returns insufficient_credit has changed nothing. Reading status and cancelling are always free.

Two errors only this server emits
Code
What it means
llm_key_required
No usable BYOK provider key is set on the account. These agents run on your key — add one in the dashboard before the first _start call.
insufficient_credit
The MCP credit balance is below the action’s price. Nothing was charged and no session was started; the message carries the balance and the amount required.
missing_param
A required parameter for the chosen report template is missing (e.g. entity_id for "entity_summary"). Checked before charging, so nothing is billed.
not_found
The requested doc_id doesn’t exist, or belongs to a different tenant.
doc_limit
The tenant wiki is at its cap (200 docs, or one doc over the size limit). Delete a doc with humetric_doc_delete and try again.
storage_unconfigured
This deployment has no report storage configured, so save:true cannot be honoured. Checked before charging — drop save and take the report inline from the response.
Conventions
Rules that hold everywhere
These apply to every endpoint below, so they are stated once here rather than repeated on each.
Writes are asynchronous
POST /v1/signals answers 202 with a signal_id and a trace_url before any work happens. The status it returns is "received" — never "queued". Extraction runs in the background and moves the signal to "completed" or "failed"; a retried signal goes back to "received". Metrics are never up to date in the same call that produced them, so poll the signal or re-read the entity.
Pagination
Most list endpoints take limit and offset and answer with items, total, limit, offset — but not all of them, so check the shape per endpoint below. Metric history returns points instead of items. GET /v1/packs, GET /v1/consent/{entity_id} and GET /v1/metrics/pending-review return a bare JSON array with no envelope and no paging at all. GET /v1/api-keys returns {api_keys: […]} with no total. Where limit is accepted, asking above the ceiling is clamped silently rather than rejected.
Timestamps
Every timestamp in and out is ISO 8601. Send UTC; a value without a timezone is read as UTC. occurred_at may not be in the future.
Re-sending a signal
Idempotency is the Idempotency-Key request header, not a body field. Send the same header value again for the same entity within 24 hours and you get 200 with the original signal and its metrics instead of a second queue entry — that is what makes a webhook retry safe. Two things to be careful about. external_id on its own does not give you this: the replay check only runs when the header is present, and because both write to the same unique column, re-sending an external_id you have already used for that entity fails with 500 rather than returning the original. The same is true of a header value replayed after the 24-hour window has passed. So treat an idempotency value as single-use per entity per day: send it as the header, keep it unique, and do not reuse yesterday’s.
confidence vs effective_confidence
confidence is what was recorded at the time — the honest line to plot. effective_confidence applies exponential temporal decay at read time, with a half-life of 365 days: what that evidence is still worth today. They are not interchangeable; rank on the effective one, chart the raw one. Note that POST /v1/signals results and GET /v1/metrics/pending-review carry the raw confidence only.
Field naming
Responses are always snake_case. Requests are mostly snake_case too: camelCase is accepted only on the specific fields listed below, because each alias was added by hand rather than by a naming rule. Anything not on that list is rejected with 422 — entityId, entityType and externalId on POST /v1/signals are the ones people hit first. Send snake_case everywhere and none of this matters.

Metric keys in the shipped packs are Turkish because the extraction prompt refers to them by name. They are identifiers, not labels: rename them if you like, but rename them in the prompt too, or the extractor will produce nothing.
The stored pack: pack_key, version, label, entity_type, is_active, and timestamps.
Worth knowing One active pack per entity_type. Creating a second pack for a type that already has one returns 409 entity_type_already_active — update the existing pack instead. A duplicate pack_key returns 409 pack_already_exists.
Replace a pack’s definition with new YAML. Use this to add a metric, retune a prompt, or adjust bands without breaking the entities already scored by it.
Worth knowing Editing a pack does not rescore existing metrics — it changes what future signals extract. Old values stay until new evidence arrives. Changing entity_type on a live pack is rejected.
Describe what you want to measure in plain language and get back a valid pack YAML. The wizard picks the metrics, writes their extraction prompts, and validates the result before returning it.

pack_yaml ready to send to POST /v1/packs, plus validation_errors and a confidence score for the suggestion.
Worth knowing The wizard only drafts — nothing is saved. Review the YAML, then create it yourself. A non-empty validation_errors means the draft needs an edit before it will be accepted.
The created entity with an empty metrics array — scores appear only after signals are processed.
Worth knowing The id is yours to choose and must be unique within your tenant; reuse the ID your own system already has. Sending an existing ID updates that entity rather than creating a second one. There must be an active pack for the entity_type first.
Every current metric with value, confidence, effective_confidence, source_count, and last_updated.
Worth knowing Sensitive metrics are omitted unless the entity has granted the consent scope the pack requires — the response is simply shorter, it does not error.
Show the reasoning behind one score: what the extractor pulled out, which model produced it, and the individual signals that moved the number.

Worth knowing extracted and extract_model describe only the most recent signal. For the earlier evidence behind the score, read contributions.
The full time series for one metric, oldest first — every recorded value with what it was before and how far it moved.

points with recorded_at, value, prev_value, delta, confidence, effective_confidence, and the signal that caused each write.
Worth knowing The timeline follows occurred_at, not arrival time — backfilled signals land in the right place in history. Plot confidence for the honest record and effective_confidence for what still counts today.
Submit raw text or structured data for an entity. HuMetric processes this signal, extracts metrics, and updates them.
signals:write202
Parameters
Name
Type
Required
Description
entity_id
string
•
Target entity ID
entity_type
string
•
Entity type (e.g. agent, user, task)
text
string
–
Free text (e.g. user feedback)
structured
object
–
Structured data (key-value)
external_id
string
–
Your own id for this signal, stored for reconciliation. It does not make the request idempotent — use the Idempotency-Key header for that. It must still be unique per entity: re-sending one you have already used fails with 500.
occurred_at
datetime
–
When the source text was actually produced. Omit for live signals; set it when backfilling so history keeps the right order. Cannot be in the future.
Idempotency-Key
string (header)
–
Request header, not a body field. Re-sending the same value for the same entity within 24 hours returns the original signal with 200 instead of queueing a second one.
Request
curl -X POST https://api.gethumetric.com/v1/signals \
-H "Authorization: Bearer hm_live_xxxx..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"entity_id": "agent-42", "entity_type": "agent", "text": "Solved the user request quickly and accurately"}'
signal_id, a status of "received", and a trace_url. Poll GET /v1/signals/{signal_id} or read the entity’s metrics once processing finishes.
Worth knowing Returns 202, not 200 — the metrics do not exist yet. Send text, structured, or both. The entity must already exist and must not be archived. Set occurred_at when backfilling so history stays in the right order.

}
The full processing trace: the original text, the extractor output, the curator’s merge decision, and the models used at each step.
Worth knowing The trace is the receipt for a score. Use it when a number looks wrong and you need to see which sentence produced it.
Query
Search and rank across entities in plain language.
Ranked results with entity_id, score, and metrics — plus a reasoning line per result when include_reasoning is set.
Worth knowing free_text_query searches semantically; rank_by sorts by one metric key. Combine them to search in language and order by a number. filters narrows on entity fields before ranking, which is cheaper than filtering afterwards.
Consent
Grant, inspect, and revoke access to sensitive metrics.
The stored consent record with granted_at and, if set, expires_at.
Worth knowing The scope string must match the pack’s requires_consent_scope exactly. Consent is per entity, not per tenant — granting it for one entity reveals nothing about another.
A confirmation naming the entity and the scope that was revoked (or "all").
Worth knowing Revocation takes effect immediately on every read path — the metric vanishes from GET /metrics, from query results, and from explanations on the next call.
The key record plus full_key — the only time the complete secret is ever returned.
Worth knowing Store full_key immediately; HuMetric keeps only a hash and cannot show it again. You cannot request scopes your own key does not hold. expires_in_days accepts 1–730.
Worth knowing A key cannot revoke itself — that would lock you out mid-rotation. Create the replacement first, switch your traffic to it, then use the new key to revoke the old one.
Review
Catch low-confidence scores and correct them by hand.
Scores the pipeline flagged as uncertain — thin evidence, conflicting signals, or confidence below the pack’s bar. This is the human-in-the-loop queue.
packs:admin
Request
curl -X GET https://api.gethumetric.com/v1/metrics/pending-review \
-H "Authorization: Bearer hm_live_xxxx..."
The previous and new value and confidence, the comment, and overridden_at.
Worth knowing The override is written to history like any other contribution, so the audit trail stays intact. value takes −1 to 1 and confidence 0 to 1. Later signals can still move the metric — an override is a correction, not a lock.
records with a bucket, client, tool_name, call_count and llm_token_count, plus a total.
Worth knowing start_date and end_date are required here; omitting them returns 422. Attribution comes from optional request headers (X-HuMetric-Client, X-HuMetric-Tool), so calls made without them are grouped as unattributed.
The same window as the usage report, cut by pack instead of by day — which pack touched how many entities and signals, and how many LLM tokens it burned.
tenant:admin
Parameters
Name
Type
Required
Description
start_date
string (query)
•
First day of the range, YYYY-MM-DD. Inclusive.
end_date
string (query)
•
Last day of the range, YYYY-MM-DD. Inclusive.
Request
curl -X GET "https://api.gethumetric.com/v1/usage/packs?start_date=2026-08-01&end_date=2026-08-31" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HUMETRIC_API_KEY"
A packs array: pack_key, pack_version, entity_count, signal_count, llm_token_count and the provider:model that did the work.
Worth knowing start_date and end_date are both required; omitting either returns 422. Rows with kind: "system" are LLM spend that belongs to no pack — query re-ranking and Pack Wizard generations. They carry no entity or signal counts but are included so the token totals reconcile with GET /v1/usage.
A status object. 200 means the API is serving requests.
Worth knowing This checks the API process only. Use it for uptime monitoring, not to tell whether your signals are being processed — a queued backlog still answers 200.
How the background pipeline is doing: how many workers are alive, how deep the queue is, and how many signals failed in the last hour. Needs no API key.
Request
curl -X GET https://api.gethumetric.com/healthz/worker
workers, queue_depth, oldest_pending_seconds, and failed_last_hour.
Worth knowing This is the endpoint to alert on, not /healthz. The API answers 200 happily while a stalled worker leaves every signal unprocessed — a rising oldest_pending_seconds is what tells you that is happening.
Deliberately not listed here
The API also serves the endpoints behind registration, login, tenant settings and billing (/v1/register, /v1/login, /v1/tenant/*, /v1/billing/*). Those exist for the dashboard, are not part of the integration surface, and may change without notice — build against what is on this page.
Errors
When something goes wrong
Most failures share the envelope below: the code is stable and safe to branch on, the message is for humans and may change, and doc_url points back at the row for that code on this page. Two kinds of response do NOT use it, and both are easy to miss — read the next two blocks before you write your error handling.
When the body or a query parameter fails schema validation, the framework answers before the envelope is ever built. You get a detail array instead, with one entry per offending field. A client that reads error.code will find nothing here, so check for detail as well. (The validation_error code in the table below is a different thing: it comes from checks the API runs itself, such as pack validation, and it does use the envelope.)
The billing guard answers before the request reaches a handler, and its error field is a flat string rather than an object. Branching on error.code crashes here; branch on the HTTP status instead.
A check the API runs itself rejected the request — pack validation, or an unsupported billing tier. Schema-level failures return the detail shape above instead.
invalid_yaml
422
The pack YAML could not be parsed, or parsed to something that is not a mapping.
too_many_metrics
422
The pack declares more than 7 metrics, which is the ceiling for a single pack.
unknown_entity_type
422
No pack has ever been published for that entity_type, so there is nothing to extract against.
no_active_pack_for_type
422
A pack exists for that entity type but none is currently active.
missing_required_fields
422
The entity is missing a field the pack declares under required_fields.
invalid_api_key
401
The key is missing, malformed, revoked, or expired. Also returned when the Authorization header is absent.
insufficient_scopes
403
The key is valid but lacks the scope this endpoint requires. Also returned when creating a key that asks for scopes the creating key does not itself hold.
entity_archived
403
The entity is archived and no longer accepts signals.
entity_type_locked
403
The entity already exists with a different entity_type. An entity’s type cannot be changed after creation.
cannot_delete_self
403
A key cannot revoke itself. Create a replacement, then revoke with the new key.
tier_limit_exceeded
402
The free-tier ceiling for signals, entities, or packs is full. Upgrade to continue. Uses the flat shape shown above, not the envelope.
entity_not_found
404
No entity with that ID in your tenant. Create it before sending signals.
signal_not_found
404
No signal with that ID.
pack_not_found
404
No pack with that key.
metric_not_found
404
The entity has no value recorded for that metric key — or has one you are not allowed to read. See the note below the table.
api_key_not_found
404
No key with that id on your account.
pack_already_exists
409
A pack with that key already exists. Use PUT to update it.
entity_type_already_active
409
Another pack is already active for that entity type. Update it instead of creating a second.
rate_limit_exceeded
429
Too many requests this minute. Retry-After tells you how long to wait.
internal_error
500
Something failed on our side. Safe to retry.
byo_key_unavailable
501
This deployment has bring-your-own-key storage disabled, so tenant provider keys cannot be read or written.
llm_auth_failed
502
The configured model provider rejected our credentials. Check the provider key on your account.
llm_quota_exhausted
502
The configured model provider reports the account is out of credit or quota.
llm_unavailable
502
The configured model provider returned an error we cannot classify. Safe to retry.
llm_rate_limited
503
The configured model provider is rate limiting us. Retry with backoff.
ai_service_unavailable
503
The pack wizard could not reach a model provider. Retry shortly.
service_unavailable
503
The API could not reach its own database while authenticating the request. Retry shortly.
There is no consent_required error. A sensitive metric the caller may not read answers 404 metric_not_found, exactly as a metric that was never written would — deliberately, so that the response does not reveal that the value exists. Grant the consent scope and the same request starts returning the value.
Limits
Rate and volume limits
Limits apply per tenant, not per key, so adding keys does not buy more throughput.
Requests
100 requests per minute per tenant, as a token bucket. Exceeding it returns 429 with a Retry-After header. /healthz is exempt.
Free tier
10,000 signals per month, 50 entities, and 3 packs. Hitting a ceiling returns 402 tier_limit_exceeded on writes; reads keep working.
Payload sizes
Signal text is capped at 300,000 characters — enough for a full multi-hour transcript. Entity free_text is capped at 50,000, pack YAML at 102,400, and the pack wizard prompt at 100,000.
Metrics per pack
A pack may declare at most 7 metrics; an eighth is rejected with 422 too_many_metrics. This is a quality ceiling rather than a billing one — every metric in the pack is scored on every signal, so a wide pack makes each extraction slower, costlier, and less careful about each individual metric. Split a domain across several entity types instead of widening one pack.
This page is server-rendered, so a crawler or an agent that fetches the URL gets the full reference rather than an empty page. If you would rather hand a model one file, these are generated from the same source as this page and are always in step with it.
/en/llms.txt — Short index — what HuMetric is, and where everything lives.
/en/llms-full.txt — The whole reference as plain text: concepts, conventions, every endpoint with its response, errors, limits.
openapi.json — The machine-readable spec, served by the API itself. Note that most routes do not declare a response schema there, so response bodies are only complete on this page.
